Sinopsis
Stirring verse about a pivotal moment in the American Revolution. A historical poem that brings the storming of Quebec to life through vivid scenes of courage, leadership, and sacrifice.
The book blends a documentary sense of historical events with the rhythm and drama of epic poetry. It traces the trials and triumphs of key figures, paints the landscapes of 18th-century battlefields, and captures the mood of those who fought for a distant homeland. Read for its voice as much as for its account of war, valor, and the cost of freedom.
- Vivid battle scenes and frontline images that place you beside the fighters.
- Portraits of leaders like Montgomery, Arnold, and Morgan, with their strengths and flaws on display.
- Themes of loyalty, duty, and resilience set against the harsh realities of war.
- A historical verse that blends narrative progression with lyrical reflection.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical poetry, Revolutionary War history, and dramatic accounts of courage under fire.

Excerpt from The Storming of Quebec
And ye may now implore your fate, From British clemency Unless ye choose to meet the death, Rather than draw a captive's breath, To part with on the tree. Ye hear the challenge of the foe Nor this ye will - then, be it so. Briton, they yield to thee, Tho' yet believe against my will, But for their hopes this blade had still, Been grasped to set us free.

Excerpt from The Storming of Quebec
That void that haunts the mind, as years and pleasures fly.
When hope's divinest visions flit, And leave the soul in darkness drear, Oh! Who would wish to linger yet, And drag a Joyless life out here!
